After being pressured by local officials, the city Department of Transportation now says it will introduce a proposal to the community board for a protected bike lane on Amsterdam Avenue in September or October. The community board and council members Helen Rosenthal and Mark Levine have asked the DOT to install a northbound lane on the UWS like the Southbound one on Columbus, particularly given that CitiBike is coming to the neighborhood this fall.
